Orpheus and the Underworld

In their latest show, created especially for Nothe Fort, site-specific theatre experts Teatro Vivo invite you to Orpheus and his girlfriend Eurydice’s gig at the Nothe Tavern.

But when something goes wrong you’ll need to journey into the underworld beneath the Fort to rescue Eurydice from Hades.

If you can get past the three headed dog Cerberus and negotiate with the dead then you might just make it out again.

There will be mystery, fun, and the gig to end all gigs. Remember: Do not look back…..
